Description

Write speed that keeps up with 4K

V30 means the card sustains continuous recording at 30 MB/s or more, and writes of up to 90 MB/s leave room for fast photo bursts too. The manufacturer describes the card for 4K UHD and Full HD video and high-resolution photos. Check the UHS class on the packaging, as the supplier data and the manufacturer description differ.
